Hangul syllable 냾

On its own, 냾 does not name a particular word.

The Hangul jamo—letters used to build syllable blocks—ᄂ, ᅤ, and ᆹ supply its initial consonant, vowel, and final cluster. The Unicode name describes that construction rather than translating a word. In Korean writing, 냾 can contribute a syllable within a word or name.

The earliest official record of Hangul dates to the end of December 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum manuscript explained its letters and how they combine. Korean differs from Chinese, and earlier methods for writing Korean with Chinese characters—including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal—were difficult for many learners. Hangul spread through Buddhist and Confucian texts; after the late 16th century, practical knowledge and laws were also written in it. It became Korea’s official national writing system in 1894.

Is 냾 an emoji?

No. 냾 is a Korean text character, not emoji artwork.

Its shape comes from the font, so two typefaces can draw the same character with different outlines.

Unicode normalization can decompose 냾 into three Hangul jamo: ᄂ, ᅤ, and ᆹ. Those letters form its initial consonant, vowel, and final cluster of ㅂ and ㅅ; a font or app may still display them as one syllable block.
